Trunk Line People Swap Views VA the
Interstate Bill
New YORK, Feb IL. tn. executive com
mittee of the Trunk '.iEe pool and the city
members of the Central Traffic association
met in joint executive session here Friday to
consider the interstate commerce bill. Com
missioner Fink presided The measures of
the bill were discussed and it was finally
agreed that the bill III no way affects the
present system Of charging passenger and
freight rates 1t was admitted that no com
bination of rates can be made and pro rata
divisions declared anu that passes can no
longer be distributed to any but employees of
the road and people engaged IN missionary
work. The question of whether the law is
retroactive was not considered Through
passenger rates, it was thought, under the
provisions of the act, are not affected in any
way. Tickets from New York to San Fran
cisco can be sold and an equitable division of
the proceeds made between the roads over
which the passengers travel, in the manner
that now obtains.
As to freight, each company can charge
what it deems a just and reasonable rate,
and il differences of opinion arise the mat
ter is to be subjected to the board of railway
commissioners, The meeting was harmon-
Gus and those present seemed pleased with
the prospect of the Law going into operation
They seem to think that ruinous rates of
competition will now be avoided and con-
siderable revenue accrue from the fares OF
former deadheads. Resolutions were adopted
that freight and passenger rates be revised
so that they conform with the interstate
commerce law. Chairman Fink Will appoint
freight and passenger committees to conduct
the revisions and formulate rules and regu-
iations to secure the uniform application of
the law. As soon as the committees are
ready to report another meeting will be
called BY the chairman

viCt, who swears that he was kept in the
cage twenty six days on bread and water

put on him weighing rs pounds The prison
physician pronounced him crazy, and he was
